I have the HKS Hipermax III Sports and they rock

The rears can go low enough for 99% of the people on this board. The fronts can (naturally) go a lot lower. But you'd be scraping the floor by then

Run a advanced search on my350Z.com for HKS III and narrow your search to the suspension and brakes section. You'll find a few good review's that way.

Far as performance, I dont track the car so I couldn't tell you. But for daily driving through streets of LA, its a comfortable ride. I have my setting at no 4 and 5 from the luxurious setting and its smooth. To adjust the setting, there is a control on the top of the coilover on the bolt that stick out to the engine bay. For the rear its on the side of the coilover.. My rims only have seven spokes so I m able to stick my hand through the rims to access the adjustment ****. Hope that helps.

I haven't driven the street versions but the Sports are superb for tracking and/or spirited driving. At the softest setting, ride quality is just a little more harsher than the OEM Sport suspension, which isn't bad. I drive mine daily at medium settings.

New? So he never installed them? That's a steal anyhow.

The spring rates on the streets are (iirc) 505 front & rear.
